Zuyd data storage infrastructure: Zuyd Research Drive

What is Zuyd Research Drive?

Research Drive is an online platform from SURF for secure and structured storage of all your research data and results during ongoing research and is accessible from any computer with an internet connection. 
It is easy to  share research data  with project members, including external partners, during the research project.
Research Drive also offers the possibility to collaborate on Office files (documents, spreadsheets, presentations) using OnlyOffice.

Request project space

To use Zuyd Research Drive, you need project space; storage quotas are assigned only to projects, not to individual users.

Request a project folder from Team Research Support: teamresearchsupport@zuyd.nl
_________________________________________________________________________________

Team Research Support will then contact you for an intake interview. In this interview, agreements are made about the project space. 
Think, for example, of the desired folder and permissions structure. Based on the agreements made, the project folder will be created and set up and the project members (if necessary) will be invited for an account and linked to the project folder.

Duration of your access
Access to Zuyd Research Drive is linked to your employment. If you leave Zuyd, access will automatically stop as soon as your Zuyd account and email address have been cancelled. From that moment on, your Zuyd Research Drive account will be managed by the functional administrator, Team Research Support.
This is related to the ownership of the data, more about this in the LibGuide legal aspects.
